School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe is excited to announce 'Facts and Fictions in the Age of Data: Art, Technology, and Data Visualisation', an exploration at the intersection of technology, art, design and human connection.

How can we create meaningful experiences using data to explore the facts and fictions of our modern-day lives? How can a thoughtful and more personal exploration of data visualisation and storytelling provide us new ways of understanding the world around us and ourselves? In this four-week program we'll take a hands-on, creative and analytical approach to exploring these questions and more, learning data visualisation and storytelling from the ground up in a variety of conceptual, digital, and physical formats.

Well-known professionals in the field of data visualisation will lead intensive workshops over a four week period in Berlin, Germany. From concept to sketching, using various data-collection techniques, working with data-sets and crafting stories from them, we’ll provide a unique and in-depth opportunity to learn the fundamentals of this new and emerging field. Final exhibition of work to be shown in Berlin.

This is a unique opportunity to work with data while learning the ins- and outs of data visualisation and storytelling in a four-week full-time intensive program.

School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe is excited to announce 'Fabricating Empathy: Art, Technology, and Outer Space', an exploration into the intersection of technology, art, design and human emotion. Expert instructors stemming from RCA in London will lead workshops over a four week period in Berlin, Germany covering all aspects of digital fabrication, including 3D modelling, machining, and speculative design methodologies. Final work will be shown in Berlin and as part of London Design Week.

How can we create meaningful experiences using technology to explore the very, very distant corners of the universe? How can speculative exploration of outer space provide new ways of understanding ourselves? In this program, we'll journey to explore possible future scenarios, crafting artefacts destined to capture, manufacture, and re-enact human emotions in space.
